About

You may have learned that sharing emotions is a huge no no and that only certain emotions can be expressed, such as happiness and gratitude. But it's not possible to be happy and grateful all the time - all emotions ask to be felt and seen. I am no stranger to the criticism and judgment we bear in order to honor those who have raised us. However, the survival skills you learned in your childhood (e.g., obedience, people-pleasing, and suppressing your needs to meet others' needs) may no longer serve you in your adulthood.
